Here is an interesting interview with the Peter Schweizer, the author of a new book outlining liberal hypocrisy. Among the revelations:

  • Peter Singer, who advocates euthanizing the terminally ill and disabled, has hired a team of providers to care for his mother suffering from Alzheimer's.

  • Michael Moore, who calls stock market investment "morally wrong," owns a portfolio including Halliburton and Boeing.

  • Nancy Pelosi, who bashes Wal-Mart for not allowing unions to run their business, uses non-union workers exclusively on her vinyard, and in her hotel and restaurants.

  • Barbra Streisand spends $22,000 annually on our "most precious resource," potable water, mostly to keep her landscaping green.

  • Al Franken, calls conservatives "racists." But over the course of his career less than 1% of his staff hires have been black people. Bob Jones University, which Franken labels a "racist" institution, employs a higher percentage of blacks.

  • Ralph Nader fired some of his employees for trying to form a union.

  • Michael Moore labels people living in mostly white neighborhoods racist latent segregationists. Moore lives in a Michigan town of 2500 people, not one of whom is black.

    Having written the book, Schweizer draws this fairly obvious but still instructive conclusion: It's another reminder that the ideas the left want to impose on the rest of us are so fundamentally bad that they don't even try to live by them. At the end of the day, when all the fun is done, I hope people view this as a book about ideas and the failure of liberal/Left ideas. They don't work for the leading lights of the Left. How could they possibly work for our country?
